Nice bounce this morning after some selling hit after the open. Hopefully it lasts today.

I'm not big on "volume" but I am not seeing the kind of volume I would like to see to justify these big gains today.

HALFCAN did you get out for sure today?

I'm increasingly convinced he's just trolling.

Amazon splitting 20-1. Kind of surprised. I thought Bezos would have to step down as chairman before that'd happen.

No, I actually took your advice and let it ride. Most of my stocks will be paying dividends in the next few weeks, so decided to keep everything.

My accounts were up huge today.

Thanks! :-)

I'm shocked too.

Have you found a purchase date needed to buy shares that get the spilt?

But what if this is the dead cat bounce before we plummet 50%?

I found this and looks like it has to be approved by shareholders as well https://www.marketwatch.com/amp/stor...00-11646862955

I just learned that if you file married separately, you can basically only contribute to a Roth IRA if you make less than $10k in earned income that year. You don't have the same limitation with contributions to a Trad IRA.

So if you insist on filing separately (as I do), you need to fill out a form that recharacterizes your Roth IRA contribution into a Trad IRA contribution for that year.

You at least get to deduct the Traditional IRA payments.

Why are you filing MFS? I’ve honestly never heard a good reason not to file MFJ
[Reply]

It's the only reason I know of: income based repayment plans for student loans will consider all income if filing jointly; or just the borrower's income if filing separately. So if the spouse/non-borrower has a relatively similar income or greater income compared to the borrower in repayment, it can really "inflate" the monthly payment requirement, to the point where even the advantages of MFJ are negated.

WTF would you want to contribute to a Traditional IRA? Assuming you don't make too much to not qualify for a Roth?
[Reply]

Unless you make too much $ or are 100% convinced taxes will be lower when you retire, why would you want a Traditional IRA?
[Reply]

Buehler's right, though -- if you don't do the Roth because of this situation, he's pointing out that there's at least this silver lining of the deduction with the Trad.

Do you think I really give a shit what some random strangers on the internet agree or disagree with me on. Your need for approval/self validation is what's really embarrassing...yikes is right.

When I talked about watching the chart way back when (and you can go back and look it up) it wasn't during a squeeze, yet you still ridiculed me...until it came time for you to point to the chart to help your argument. Hypocrite.

Again, why the **** are you so concerned about what I do with my money? What I've been doing has worked very well for me, so **** off. My average right now sucks, but do you honestly believe it'll never at least break into the mid-20's again? If so you're a bigger dumbass than you're acting. I've said time and time again, the stock market is a gamble for me. I don't care about meager gains like you, I want to use it to go big or go home. Get over it.

When I first started investing in the stock market I put $5k in. Grew it to over $80k in less than a year. Have you ever had over a 1500% increase in 8-10 months? The majority of that was GME and AMC. I have taken profits on both many times. I have been down really big at times but they have always come back and I have no doubt in my mind they'll be back again. See, I'm not a paperhanded pussy like you, I can weather the storm for a big payoff down the road.

Here's a great video on Wall Street corruption from Jon Stewart and how the apes have brought attention to it. You stock market boomers are just mad that we're changing how the game is played and you've missed out on the ride because you're too stupid and stubborn to take a risk.
